Stampin' Up! Botanical Blooms Card in a Box

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Welcome to the December Pootles Birthday Club Blog hop. It was my Aunties 80th Birthday at the beginning of December so that means I can take part in this hop. Stupidly though I forgot to take a photo of the card I made for her so here is a similar card I made for a friend who celebrated her 40th birthday earlier this year.

I absolutely love making these Card in a box cards. They are a real labour of love as they take around 8 hours to make from start to finish but they are so stunning that it's worth the effort.

For my Aunts card I used slightly different colours, So Saffron, Peekaboo Peach and Blushing Bride with Pear Pizzazz for the leaves, so just a little more subtle than this card. 

I think the Botanical Blooms bundle is absolutely perfect for these cards as the flowers are all different sizes but look fabulous together. Unfortunately the set has now retired but I will be keeping hold of mine.

Here's close up of the flowers, don't the faceted gems look stunning as the flower centres?

Don't forget to keep hopping, just click on the links below to see the other beautiful creations my fellow Pootlers have made.
